[When Jaime turns the tablet on, he's standing in front of the cinema that a couple of the other Transports had constructed, visible hand propped up on a broomstick. The area is still scattered with debris and dust after the bombings, but it's clear that he's at least made the rudimentary attempts at cleaning a path to the miraculously intact structure. He gives the camera a little wave.]

Hey! So, it's come to my attention that some people around here have never seen a movie before even though we've got a theatre right here. I'm thinking we're totally past due for a movie night, and it just so happens that I found a copy of E.T. in one of the databases. This place still needs to be cleaned up a bit, but I think I can have it ready by let's sayyyy Saturday, 7 PM. Everyone's welcome to come on down.

Or at least you are as long as you bring snacks.

[He grins at the camera. He's joking, honest. Mostly. Mostly joking. A movie's not a movie without snacks.]

...And if you didn't get it, Sango, that means you. Clear your schedule! It's time to introduce you to modern cinema. Eilonwy, you should come on down too. Call it a mini-vacation you get to choose this time.

[ ooc; Tags will be slow to non-existent until tomorrow, just giving everyone some IC and OOC heads-up for a mingling log this Saturday! ]

Not at all. I imagine motion pictures work similarly to the devices we're using now, right?

That so? I gotta admit, it took me a little while to buckle into the mindset that something like this tablet is normal. Whoever's used to this sort of thing from their own world must be accustomed to some pretty impressive technology.

Well, I could tell you what I'm not used to! The thing is, a lot of what's around here does exist in some shape or form where I'm from, it's just a lot more advanced. I mean, cars are a prime example of that. My Dad's Satomobile pales in comparison to what I've seen since I arrived.

But I gotta say, besides the tablet, the most innovative piece of work to me has been the microwave. And, what else, perhaps guns?

[She maintains a neutral stance on the lattermost item for this conversation. Now isn't exactly the best time to dredge in bad memories. Her voice does dip very slightly, however.]

You mean like automobile?

[Her smile grows broader.] Sato's my last name. The Satomobile is just a luxury line of cars, kind of like how our competitor's Cabbage Car is a cheaper brand of the same thing.

[Her face freezes with an expectant expression, as if encouraging him, your...? That is, until he brings up the Cabbage Corp. It gets a short giggle out of her.]

It's quirky, right? Believe it or not, Cabbage Corp has a legacy. It all started with a man and his cabbage cart; fast-forward seventy years later and now there's an entire corporation. Just goes to show you can't brush off even the simplest things, huh?
chittybang: (nothing like a good rum and coke.)

Well, we're not about to give the tip to our rival auto maker. [She winks at him.]

So you were going to say something about yourself earlier?

[Asami hasn't forgotten. Enough about her own family; the situation isn't as perfect as it sounds.]
chittybang: (can i touch it??)

You don't say! What a coincidence. So you've grown up around cars your whole life, then?
chittybang: (i like you. you're hot.)

Wellll, I can tell you my bike could use a tuneup. Normally I like to do it myself, but I can understand if you're itching for a little grease on your hands.

[She jokingly winces.] It's too late, you already said it. Now we'll just have to wait for the skies to open up, won't we?
chittybang: (if you know what i mean??)

At least we'll know who to blame, right?
